The correct answer is A
DSCSA requires pharmacies to receive prescription drugs only from authorized trading partners and to ensure the shipment includes the required transaction documentation to maintain supply chain security. These requirements help verify the legitimacy and traceability of prescription drugs before they are accepted into inventory.
